Amazon have several of his books listed along with many Maigret story's.
Yes, thanks! I read that one, I think. About a murderer and his long escape.One non-Maigret Simenon book I enjoyed was 'The Man Who Watched the Trains Go By'.
Thanks, tried Wikipedia but not much help.A lot of Simenon’s non Maigret novels were used in French classic movies. Great stories: Wikipedia is your friend here.
I really loved the Martin Beck series of books & I would urge you to do so if you haven't.
Here, at Film Adaptations. Many masterpieces.Thanks, tried Wikipedia but not much help.
The grammar (and spelling) nazis are twitching.
It was a very quick post to help some one who posed a question, in my view your comment addressed to me suggests that it is you that fits the grammar and spelling nazi role.
Yes indeedy.
Thank you! Great help!Taken from the Guardian a couple of years ago...
“If you want to read three of his greatest books, try the deceptively light Sunday, written in 1958 about a Riviera hotel-keeper who spends a year preparing to kill his wife; try The Widow, published, like The Outsider, in 1942, and at least equal to Camus’s work in portraying a doomed and alienated life; and above all be sure to read Dirty Snow, a story of petty crime and killing at a time of collaboration in a country that remains unnamed, but which is always taken to be France under the Nazis.”
According to Andre Gide all his books are worth reading.
